Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ground chicken fat ratio for meal prep bowls?
We recommend 93/7 lean ground chicken. 99/1 ground chicken breast can become dry and crumbly upon reheating, while 93/7 contains just enough dark meat fat to keep the protein juicy and moist across four days in the fridge.

How long do ground chicken prep bowls last in the fridge?
Stored in airtight glass containers, cooked ground chicken bowls remain fresh and delicious for 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 90 seconds, adding fresh dressings and sauces after warming.
